The Producer will design, develop and manage sustainable, ambitious and scalable opportunities for young people to build a skills portfolio across theatre backstage roles and opportunities across the creative industries celebrating the art of storymaking.
The role requires a deep understanding of what it takes to make content and shows across the sector, informed by experience.

Devise plans to attract new Backstage members, responding to the needs of young people and with an emphasis on creating inclusive opportunities for those who may have faced barriers to participation in the arts.
